I sincerely doubt the roadway was brushed in after 2009. If it was, I am at a complete loss as towards who did it, it sure wasn't us. After talking to USFS/AMC, there have been no slated projects on that trail for many years, not even any patchwork. If anybody did it, it was a very helpful...

That's good stuff Kevin, I'll have to look for that myself. The previous maintainer had the trail long enough for his 20 year recognition, so maybe early 2000's fits into the window.

Having grown up in Coos, attending school with multiple members of the Crane family (some Peter's), there is more to the 'back story'. While not going into particulars, because I am only one voice perhaps seen as relating/interpreting events, there were some incidents that occurred off the trail...

OK, got it, now I understand. Except for 2 ancient AMC guides, I only have the 28th & 29th myself. I can personally vouch that there has not been any reroute since 2006, the date we switched from maintaining other trails to the Osseo.

BIGEarl, first, well done to both of you! I am quite intrigued with any re-route that has been done on Osseo. We were just working on the trail in July and nothing of the sort had been done. I'm checking in to see with the other agencies what may have been accomplished. Thank goodness someone...

Yeah, welcome back & what a return! First, congrats on the birth. And this TR is awesome! What an adorable little trooper you have there! Our grandson was just born a month ago and since he lives in GA we are extremely jealous! Hope we get to have a similar experience.

Looks like Kevin and I were thinking the same thing. So Tom, you are referring to 'Osseo' as in sense of when the section of trail would have been the most extreme southern section of the original Franconia Ridge Trail? In that case it is certainly seen on old maps, but if it is identifiable...

The old Osseo trailhead can be located off the lots of the Clear Brook Condos. Ask the development's manager for permission to park in area not used by owners, if you ask first, they will likely honor your request.

Wow guys, talk about having some get-up-and-go! Truly appreciate your spirit and zeal! I would highlight the need to contact the AMC about volunteering. As an Adopter for 25+ years, and a Region Leader too, there is much to be taken into account. Here is a link, and you will notice the embedded...

Thanks again everyone. We are back from visit to our first grandson born 7/29. Back to the Acadia maps now!]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!!!! these are great Yvon, thanks for sharing. my wife & i are ooohing and ahhhhing over them. A place (along with new zealand) we have always wanted to visit! thanks again!

Bullseye, you got that one right. Two excellent points. Folks with pull do have to pick which battles to fight, no sense in a Phyrric victory with some many land issues juggling in the air at any given time. Spend some time ( this is my 25th, almost 26th, year of volunteer trailwork)...

Definitely have to keep tabs on progress. River crossing with trail tools to work on Osseo will be an adventure........We are up the weekend before Columbus Day, so if there is any potential of it being open on weekends that would be BIG plus. In the past we have concluded our trailwork season...

Thank you all, I love getting all these suggestions. I have my maps out now and am looking them over based on what you have mentioned. What a great resource to tap into!

We are goin to Acadia after Labor Day. Last time I was there I was 7 or 8 years old. Please speak up and tell me the non-technical hikes you did that put body to the test in strength & endurance. We want a challenge. (not plan on doing Precipice Trail) Thanking you in advance!

I do not use footbeds personally, I've tried them, but I find all those materials tend to make my feet sweat way beyond normal, even taking countermeasures, like baby powder. My wife uses them however, and she has used Superfeet but not achieved the results she wished. She got sized for, and...

Silverfox is right, have done that before too, not to be neglected is fact that the route of descending Rocky Branch helps you appreciate why you ascended Glen Boulder!

When the weather decides to put you in its favor & grace, take Glen Boulder, you won't regret it.

The Whites will miss you...best wishes!

Yea, on the trails SOON! Best wishes, FC
